maybe i'm amazed

Yesterday -- was thinking, here, that people don't care much about pain if it isn't their own.

Our state legislators who voted down the "medical marijuana" legislation were thinking of pain -- their own, at the next election, when their opponent would beat them to death with "he / she voted in favor of smoking pot!" blah blah blah.

But it isn't always true: there are people who
see wrong and try to right it,
see suffering and try to heal it,
see war and try to stop it.

someone
was in pain

and then
things improved
